1. Who we are

Waskey Press is a publishing imprint operating from France. For any privacy-related questions, you can contact us at contact@waskeypress.com.

2. What data we collect

We collect the following personal data:

Newsletter subscriptions: when you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. This is the only information we require.

Contact form: when you send us a message via our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Usage data: we automatically collect anonymised data about how visitors use our site, including pages visited, time spent on pages, and general geographic location. IP addresses are hashed before storage and are never stored in identifiable form.

Cookies: we use Google Analytics to understand how our site is used. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymised usage statistics. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking cookies for commercial purposes.

3. How we use your data

Newsletter email: used solely to send you occasional emails about new Waskey Press book releases. We send no more than a few emails per year and never share your address with third parties.

Contact messages: used solely to respond to your enquiry. Messages are stored securely and are not shared.

Usage data: used to understand which content is most useful to our readers and to improve the site. This data is anonymised and aggregated.

4. Legal basis for processing

Under GDPR, we process your data on the following legal bases:

Consent: for newsletter subscriptions, you explicitly provide your email address and can unsubscribe at any time.

Legitimate interest: for anonymised usage analytics, which help us improve the site without identifying individual users.

Contract performance: for contact form messages, to respond to your enquiry.

5. Data retention

Newsletter email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe. Contact messages are retained for up to 2 years. Anonymised usage data is retained for up to 13 months in line with Google Analytics standards.

6. Third-party services

Google Analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymised site usage data. Google may process data outside the European Union. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Amazon: our book pages link to Amazon for purchases. When you click an Amazon link, you leave our site and Amazon's own privacy policy applies.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any other third parties.

Right of access: you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Right to erasure: you can ask us to delete your personal data.
